What's weirder is that the bottom two are 6 feef apart

Americans will use anything but metric

I wouldn’t touch the metric system with a 10-foof pole.

The correct answer is 2.58 metres.

Rukmer ,

That made me laugh so hard I woke up my cats.

WtfEvenIsExistence ,

What’s metric? Is that some kind of myth the Europeans invented? No thanks, Monarchists, I love my feets and freedoms.

ponfriend ,

Metric is a product of the French Revolution, as well as decimal currency like cents. Some decimalization from the French Revolution didn’t catch on widely, like gradians for measuring angles or decimal minutes, hours, and weeks. The imperial units were standardized by various monarchies (hence the name).

Or analytical geometry, for that matter.

eestileib ,

We use decimal inches in machine shops, that’s a metric system.

SI though, that’s what gets people mad.

datelmd5sum ,

Except for some reason you didn’t come up with your own units for:

  • electric potential difference
  • electric charge
  • electric current
  • resistance
  • capacitance
  • inductance
  • magnetic flux
  • amount of substance
  • radioactivity
  • …
Throwdownyourgrandma ,

Is adapting a standard instead of making your own something negative?

datelmd5sum ,

It’s not compatible with their other units. E.g. 1 tesla = 1 Ns/Cm, but imperial uses poundfeet instead of newtons and feet instead of meters. Dimensional analysis with incompatible units is folly.

assa123 ,

This actually makes the problem solvable

edit: in 2-D. Even without the typo it was solvable in 3-D.

eestileib , (edited )

What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?

But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.

12 minutes or so in, they say “as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially.” I thought “actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever”, and finished the video intending to get on with my life.

My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. “HR have proven themselves to be fools!” “I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again.” “Once again non-technical people talking out their asses.”

HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.

randint ,

Wow, cool HR. Why did the engineers send their complaints to your inbox though?

Reply all

randint ,

Ah I see.

Etienne_Dahu ,

But did they use reply all to apologize to all the recipients about their email?

eestileib ,

Please remove me from this mailing list

AcesFullOfKings ,

In any discussion around Reply All I always think of redd.it/420oan

and also the podcast

rockerface ,

“Reply all” button should only be available if you have completed the training on not using it for every email, and you have to renew it twice a year

chimasterflex ,

HR should have replied with a “this was a test on how not to be an asshole and you’ve all failed. You must take the whole training again”

sounddrill ,

Sounds like an HR thing to do frfr

It’s a feature not a bug

conneru64 ,

It bugs me that people will call anything with a positive second derivative “exponentially increasing”. I can do one better: it increases busy-beaver-y! Is that fast enough for people??

I'm a little sad nobody has done the correct math and it's been too long for me to do it off the top of my head lol.

A^2+B^2=C^2? What distance are the diagonals if the sides are 6' apart?

6x6 + 6x6 = sqrt72 = 8.49' !

I did it bois. Ty calculator for sqrt72...

exu ,

Now, what’s the length of the sides if the diagonals are 6ft?

MrMamiya ,

Roughly 4.24?

TheFriendlyDickhead ,

Thats easy.
6 * 6 = 36
36 = a² + b²
Lets assume a = b
So a² = 18 = b²
a = b = 4,2426406871

shootwhatsmyname ,
@shootwhatsmyname@lemm.ee avatar

What if every initial value is unknown?

Kongpiler ,

Now do the conversion factor from feef to feet!

TheFriendlyDickhead ,

The diagonal is 6ft. The side is 6 ft. So 6² + 6feef² = 6²

1 feef = 0ft

Unanimous_anonymous ,

8.49’!~=116699.97’

yjr4df0708 ,

how much is a “feef”

jxk ,

Let’s do the math. Let’s name the points A B C D, where A and D are separated by 6 feef, and all other point pairs by 6 feet. There fore, ABC and BCD are equilateral triangles of side length 6 feet. This leaves two possibilities for the distance between A and D: either they are the same point, or their distance is twice the height of an equilateral triangle with 6 feet side. Since A and D are clearly distinct, we’ll go with the latter. That makes the distance AD to be equal to 6 feet times the square root of three, giving a value of sqrt(3) feet for one feef.

1 feef is 12 finches

Why? The diagram is from above and they’re shifted in 3 dimensions. Now draw that. I’m not asking. DRAW IT!

Canadian_Cabinet ,

If the 6 feet is from head to head, couldn’t you flip two people upside down?

intelati ,

Ha. I’ve always imagined it as six horizontal feet. Assume the heads are on the ground orientation agnostic

Simple: they live in doom

CaptionAdam ,

I did the math the diagonal distance is ~8.5Ft

yetAnotherUser ,

I think it’s closer to √72 Ft

CaptionAdam ,

Idk I just punched it in and rounded

BCsven ,

No one is mentioning that the math doesn’t work out if the staight line distances are constraints then the diagonals are not correct, and vice versa.

juliebean ,

i think that is the joke

pjhenry1216 ,

You do understand what the Pythagorean theorem is, right?

BCsven ,

Exactly what I was pointing out. seems when I added comment the post looked empty to me, but now it looks like I commented late

pjhenry1216 ,

It's in the actual picture. What are you talking about?

BCsven ,

As I replied to others, Lemmy glitch on my client end. Post had no comments when I posted and I was surprised nobody was making comments

pjhenry1216 ,

Ok. Again. Who posts comments explaining the joke though?

BCsven ,

Again, glitch in Jerboa app/ Lemmy on my end. Only upper portion of image was showing and it said No comments yet, so I was curious how it sat so long with nothing. Its working OK now, other than I don’t always get notifications of comment replies and have to go click the original comment to see replies. it’s a bit quirky. i thought about deleting comment after I realized what happened, but meh.

nudnyekscentryk ,
@nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info avatar

but why even point out the joke in the picutre, even if there were no comments?

BCsven ,

As I explained only upper portion of image was disolayed and the joke part wasn’t visible. And it had sat with what looked like no comments on my app.

TimeSquirrel ,
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

No one has to mention because everybody gets it already.

flambonkscious ,

Hey, some if us are dumb over here…

takeda ,

This is actually possible, if 1 feef = 0 feet

TheFriendlyDickhead ,

Only the bottom line is feef. Would work if the top line was feef too.

Dashmaybe ,

It’s possible if the picture is of a 3-D space mapped onto a 2D plane anyway

eestileib ,

Some people you just block and move on.

akincisor ,

One place where a pyramid scheme would actually work

irmoz ,

That’s what the whole comment section is discussing. It’s the point of the post

BCsven ,

Ah, maybe lemmy glitch, post was empty for me when I made the comment
